2018 Supermoon Astrology

The Full Moon over London on Tuesday 2nd January is a Supermoon. It falls in the zodiac sign of Cancer and will bring inner conflicts and real world issues too. A second Supermoon falls on 31st January in the zodiac sign of Leo.

How can you handle it and what can you expect?

2018 Supermoon Astrology

January 2018 is unusual as we have not one, but two Supermoons. These Full Moons are big and bright and act like neon lights, drawing your attention to issues that need a lot more time and energy. Let’s look at them in turn. First of all, the Cancer Supermoon which the world experiences slowly across January 1st, 2nd, 3rd – depending on your time zone.

The 2018 Supermoon and Your Personal Birth Chart

If you have your personal birth chart from me as a Premium Member and have anything at 10, 11, 12 Cancer then part of your personality is strongly tied to your mother, your family, your home town and your homeland. It may have been easy for you, or hard, but it’s who you are. This part of your identity is at the heart of major questions across January 1, 2, 3 so please give yourself more time and space. I strongly recommend not overdoing it on New Year’s Eve.

This is the ‘second strand’ of your reading. The public side of your reading will be decided by your sign, below. yet if you have Cancer factors at 10, 11, 12 then the other really big story for you is about where you come from, where you live, where you belong, and to whom you belong. Your people and your place.

2018 Supermoon Astrology and Your Zodiac Sign – Karma Calls!

Beyond your personal birth chart, your usual zodiac sign shows you what is publicly going on. Your own Sun Sign horoscope will advertise the karma for you at the end of 2018. Why? Because we have the Node (which rules past life debts and credits) going into Cancer too.

This happens on Tuesday 6th November 2018 and the Node remains in Cancer in 2019 so you’re in this for the long haul.

Thus, the situation around 2nd January will have its second chapter from 6th November, in terms of the karma to be fulfilled. As you start the year you will be dealing with a push-pull situation. Maybe a tug-of-war. What you create then will have to be answered for, at the end of the year.

The Cancer Karma of 2019 – how the January 2018 Supermoon Sets Up Next Year

The Cancer karma of 2019 is set up by the Supermoon Full Moon of January 2018 so allow for plenty of wiggle room, when it comes to what is decided or under discussion across New Year’s Day, January 2nd, January 3rd. This is a stressful time of year anyway as people are dealing with massive family or work decisions around them; more alcohol and drugs; more queues and waiting time; more pressure to be happy!

January is nuts anyway. The Supermoon Full Moon is a very useful big, bright reminder (like a red STOP sign) to slow down, cool down, pull back, play for time, take your time – and take care. Work around. You’ll see the rest of the story, which will all make a lot more sense, from November and by 2019 you’ll realise that January was so much the beginning.

Supermoon Astrology and the Leo-Aquarius Patterns

We have a second Supermoon in astrology on Wednesday 31st January. The Sun stands at 11 Aquarius while the Moon is at 11 Leo. This is a total lunar eclipse, exact at 1. 29pm in London.

If you have your personal birth chart from me and have anything at 10, 11, 12 Aquarius then there will be mixed feelings about friends and the group. It’s a moment of truth about shared wants and needs. Give yourself time and space then. It’s not the best time to push hard for a group outcome.

If you have your birth chart from me and have anything at 10, 11, 12 Leo then please hit Search and Leo to find out more about how this sign plays out in your chart in 2018. In general, your inner conflict or real-world conundrum is going to involve the world of children, young adults or lovers.

No matter what your birth chart looks like, karma is at work with the second Supermoon too. Why? Because we mostly have the Nodes in Leo-Aquarius in 2018. So this is really a time of reckoning for an issue which goes back years, and also back into past lives. Take your time with it.

Supermoon Astrology and Full Moon Rules

When the Sun is opposite the Moon, and particularly when the Moon is so big, bright and rare – we always see conflicts inside people (a tug of war) and frequently conflicts in the world itself. Allow for people to be conflicted around both Supermoons and create ‘wiggle room’ and space for that. If your personal birth chart is directly affected then you obviously need to be kind to yourself at these times. Any opposition in the heavens is always a huge stretch.

Wow! Janurary 2nd is our final night at a wonderful vacation apartment we have enjoyed off and on for the last year. It lifted my spirits SO much! BUT, I must sublet it now as our careers and industry are being rocked by instability. My Libra partner seems sure he will change careers and has spent the last week applying in every far away place so we can have new vistas and options. He does have the credential thankfully. Dear Jessica, do you see any particular dates to move our home? And do you see any connections for togetherness or… Read more »

It’s funny that the pic of Lady Liberty is there, so much a part of my own Cancer/Capricorn node story, all connected with mothers and children, struggle and sacrifice. My question is – how do I balance these two sides? The home, the family, with the Capricorn ambition? As I write that, I think I know the answer….

Hi Jessica! I have several factors in Cancer. On December 21, I had a final and relationship-ending confrontation with my adopted daughter (from India) that has been a long time coming. She is an Aries (born April 14, 1994, or so we think – no proof and she could well be older). I am devastated but also relieved as raising her was the hardest thing I have ever done and just staying away seems to be the most peaceful option (although it gives her the position of playing the “poor orphan” victim – sigh). I can’t do any more as… Read more »

I have my Jupiter in Cancer opposing my fortuna,Vesta and Neptune at the degrees you have mentioned. I start a new job next month and while I m excited I have also been feeling low and inadequate over the past few weeks. Think it might just be the cosmic weather ?

I find myself intrigued about the supermoon astrology with regard to Leo. Mysteries, secrets?? Both of my parents have passed and it’s just me and my brother. I’m divorced with 3 kids. I can’t imagine where or what this would entail. Any hints in my chart?

Happy New Year Jessica and all the JA “family” I always get excited when I see “House, apartment, property investment” but am still paying debts of Mr Abuser19/2/57 and despair of being able to ever afford my own little abode. Worried about running out of time … is Uranus turning direct going to assist? With Full Moon conj Juno can I expect any developments that would culminate in walking down the aisle. Again, your post about being out of time ringing true! Looking forward to the Full Moon ending all the stuckness and shepherding in a bright new start. Best… Read more »

Hi Jessica, I noticed my natal Minerva in the 1st is speaking nicely to Jupiter in the 12th and you mentioned there will be a nice transit on the 7th in this area, will this help me as I try to figure out this big change that seems to be on the horizon this year with home and career? I feel a bit nervous as I am single (which I don’t mind) and a Scorpio who doesn’t necessarily like change, AND loaded up with many projects as it is. I’m phasing out a long held job, for a career to… Read more »

Hi Jessica, Happy New Year to you! I was born on the 5th June, 1968 in Sydney Australia at around 4.30pm. Over the last decade I have gone through an extremely difficult time in my personal and financial life. My husband of 18 years passed away 10 years ago from brain cancer and I lost everything financially and had to start again. We had one child together, a Leo, who was 12 at the time. I since remarried, (he’s an airies) however that hasn’t been the best situation for me. Because of certain decisions and partnerships from his past he… Read more »

Hi Jessica, I am Cancer ascendant 11 degrees. There’s a man I’ve known for 40 years who is Sun Cancer at 10 degrees. It sure feels like we’ve known each other before. Any interesting implications here? Thanks!

Hello Jessica, The timing of the Super Moon is amazing. I have a 10 degree Cancer ascendant and I’m taking time off from my caring duties on Tuesday January 2. I planned it a couple of months ago. I intend on having me time and a beauty treatment or two. Thanks for the article. Have a happy new year.

Dear Jessica, First of all, I would tell to you the new star sign’s icons are so beautiful, I like them . Last year, the sun-moon eclipse was exact to my Saturn. It’s effect, that a 20 year old relationship was left behind by me. I have never thought, that it can ever happen. Now I am alone on my own, and I am so busy by my job, as never before. From the autumn of 2013 I was in a holding pattern, till 11th november, this year. The story, which seemed to begin (nothing serious) with another somebody in… Read more »

Hi Jessica, so when you don’t see the actual sign of cancer in your chart do you look to the ruling planet? Since my moon is Leo ruled by the sun how does this play out for me? Also I’ve read that if you were born at night you’re more of your moon sign than your sun sign, what are your thoughts? I can say the Horoscope for Aquarius has been right on for me. I’ve definitely been in Greta Garbo mode.

Happy New year! Thank you for a fab article. I have Leo and Aquarius factors which might be impacted. Are you able to share some more details Pls? Ps I’ve been separated for 2 years and finalising the divorce now…

Hi Jessica, I would like to know the impact of this supermoon for me. It hit my Psyche at exactly 11 degrees which also opposes my Prosperina at 11 degrees Capricorn. I have been reading up on the asteroids, and to me that means the moon will magnify my ability to handle life’s trials – which, by the way, don’t need any more magnifying – and it opposes the part of my character which is a people pleaser? I am a lot of things, people pleaser isn’t one of them! Please shine a light. I get the feeling this might… Read more »
